Bow and arrow anchor

ABSTRACT

A system comprised of a retractable spring loaded braided cable in a casing. When the casing of the Stabilizer is mounted to the front and middle of the handle of the bow and the end of the braided cable clamped to the archers pants or belt loop. The motion up and down when aiming the bow will cause friction between the braided cable and the small hole in the casing. With this friction and restriction of movement is a more stable shot when releasing the arrow.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to giving an archer more stability when aiming their bow and arrow by creating a small amount of resistance on the front of their bow to help steady the aim

HISTORY OF PRIOR ART

The prior art is replete with bow stabilizers for use in holding a steady aim. An important criteria of such stabilizing apparatus is the type of trajectory afforded by the stabilizer to duplicate a particular trajectory time after time. With such a device people that can't hold a steady aim can still practice archery. Stabilizers are fairly new in archery. The prior art has a number of such stabilizers. Most conventional stabilizers, however, adapted for stabilizing a bow where tall grass and brush are in the hunting area stabilizers using tripods and bipods are bulky and in the way. Not all stabilizers have an anchor point attached to the archer by a flexible cable and small spool giving the archer greater mobility solving the problem of the large and bulky tripods.

Various prior art embodiments of stabilizers are set forth and shown in a number of issued U.S patents. For example, U.S Pat. No. 20050076896 is a 2005 patent issued to Jack McCrea for a stabilizer. The device shown therein utilizes a tripod; bipod system attached to the bow and is stabilized by the ground. The size of such a stabilizer in this patent teaches the use of a large stabilizer. Due to the inherent problem of size in the tripod and bipod stabilizer, the utilization of elongated and weighted stabilizers retained its viability. For example, U.S. Ser. No. 20050011509 issued to Blair A. Sandberg in 2005 utilizes mass and length to steady the front of the bow and has also found very recent acceptance. U.S. Patent Ser. No. 20010025636 issued to Frank Harwath and Robert Mizek also utilize length and weight compounded with liquid to stabilize and control vibration the problem of the prior art is not having an anchor point.

It would be an advantage therefore to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art by providing a stabilizer that is small, anchored and flexible for an individual. The present invention affords the advantages of a stabilizer, which over comes the disadvantages of the prior art in size and stability,

For use by an individual it must be small, anchored and flexible for hunting in the grass and brush.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention anchors the front of an archers bow by incorporating a coil spring attached to a spool inside of a metal case. The spool has three feet of braided metal cable wound on the spool, the cable leaving the spool and going through a small hole in the side case. The spool being spring loaded to coil up, keeps tension on the cable and clamp. The spring loaded spool mounted on front of the bow and with the clamp on the end of the cable clamped to the archers belt around their waist, the friction of the braided cable moving in and out of the hole in the casing will greatly cut down on the up and down movement of the front of the bow helping the archers aim.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

For a more complete understanding of the present invention reference may now be had to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the coil spring inside a casing, which keeps tension on the cable trying to wind the spool and cable up. The bracket and mounting hole on the right side of FIG. 1 will fit under a weight stabilizer that will fit all modern bows

FIG. 2 is a view of the opposite side of the casing showing the spool inside. The spool holds and coils the braided cable in and out of the casing through a hole in the casing with a clamp on the end of the cable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Referring to FIG. 1 the coil spring incased inside a housing wound up and fastened to the center of a spool will make it coil and wind up the braided steel cable. The bracket to the right with the 3/8 holes on one end will allow it to mount to all modern bows.

Referring now to FIG. 2 showing the side with the spool and the steel braided cable wrapped in the spool. When the cable is extended and the clamp on the end of the cable is clamped to the archer anchoring the bow its the resistance of the braided cable going in and out of the hole on the side of casing that creates the stability for a solid aim. 

1. This stabilizer is an improved system for holding a solid aim while shooting a bow and arrow. Anchoring the front of the bow by means of a cable clipped to the waist of the archer then spring loading the cable to retract onto a spool and being pulled through a hole creating friction and a stableness to hold the aim steady.
